TAKATA RECALL I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WHILE DRIVING MY 2017 FORD F150 ON DECEMBER 20, 2017. THE DRIVER AIR BAG CURTAIN DEPLOYED AND TRAPPED MY HEAD DOWN AGAINST MY LEFT SHOULDER. THE BAG DID NOT DEFLATE, SO I WAS FORCED TO RETRIEVE MY KNIFE FROM MY BELT AND CUT THE BAG OPEN. THE CONTENTS OF THE BAG QUICKLY FILLED THE CAB WITH WHITE POWDERY SMOKE WHICH I INHALED. I NOW HAVE ROUGH BREATHING WHILE INHALING. I HAVE BEEN TO MY DOCTOR AND WAS PRESCRIBED AZITHROMYCIN 250MG PAK TAB TEVA. THIS WAS A TEMPORARY CURE, BUT THE ROUGH BREATHING IS AGAIN PRESENT. PLEASE PROVIDE THE PROPELLANT NAME IN THESE AIRBAGS, SO I WILL KNOW HOW TO TREAT MY PROBLEM.

I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR 56 YEARS, WHEN I GET OUT OF AN AUTOMATIC VEHICLE I PUT IT IN PARK EVEN WITH THE MOTOR RUNNING. ON 4/5, I PARKED MY TRUCK (CITY GOVERNMENT VEHICLE) MOTOR RUNNING, TO PUT RAINGEAR IN MY PERSONAL VEHICLE. I PLACED THE TRUCK IN PARK OPENED THE DRIVER'S DOOR, GRABBED MY JACKET AND WALKED TO MY PERSONAL VEHICLE (15 FEET AWAY) AND PLACED THE JACKET INSIDE. I THEN WALKED BACK TO MY CITY TRUCK, OPENED THE PASSENGER DOOR GOT MY RAIN SLICKER FROM THE FLOOR BOARD, CARRIED THE SLICKER TO MY PERSONAL CAR AND PUT IT INSIDE. I WALKED BACK TO THE TRUCK, SHUT THE TRUCK'S PASSENGER DOOR, WALKED TOWARDS THE BACK OF THE TRUCK TO GET TO THE DRIVER'S SIDE. THE TRUCK HAD BEEN COMPLETELY STATIONARY TO THIS POINT AND AT THIS MOMENT DROVE ITSELF FORWARD INTO A PARKED VEHICLE IN FRONT OF IT. I WAS NOT IN THE VEHICLE. DAMAGE TO BOTH VEHICLES WAS MINOR. THE TRUCK'S GEAR SHIFTER WAS IN "D". A POLICE REPORT WAS MADE. ONE WOULD NATURALLY ASSUME IT WAS DRIVER ERROR AND THE VEHICLE WAS NEVER IN PARK. I TOO DOUBTED MYSELF UNTIL I DISCOVERED FORD'S RECALL OF 2017 F250 TRUCKS. I MAKE THIS COMPLAINT TO YOU, THE NHTSA. A COWORKER WITNESSED THE ENTIRE INCIDENT AND REPORTED IT TO THE POLICE. THE CITY TRUCK WAS STATIONARY FOR OVER A MINUTE, AND AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS FROM THE EXACT LOCATION OF THE INCIDENT, I CANNOT LEAVE THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE WITHOUT THE TRUCK MOVING FORWARD ...
